Andrew Yang hugs the Crypto Crowd

Andrew Yang's campaign to become US president by 2020 is growing in importance. In recent weeks, the Democratic candidate has received the attention of mainstream media and Internet forums, whose anonymous posters are still holding power with "Meming" by Trump. The tech-savvy Yang, who campaigns for a universal income of $ 1,000 a month, has spoken crypto for years.

He tweeted first about Bitcoin 2013 and then in 2018 began fundraising in cryptocurrency, which he described "huge news". Supporters can subscribe to crypto credits of up to $ 2,500, with all BTC, ETH, and ERC20 tokens accepted.

"With Yang's campaign gaining momentum in recent weeks, some well-known cryptocurrency supporters have pledged their support for the 44-year-old, whose business background is likely to make him smile about digital assets should he do so.

Ethfinex uses the curated registry of clerics

ERC20 Token Platform Ethfinex has teamed with Blockchain's clerical dispute service clerics to "decentralize" stock market listing. In a March 7 blog post, Cleros said, "Previously, the Ethfinex listing process was when Ethfinex selected the best projects to propose a public vote, which was then conducted by users of the Ethfinex exchange." Under the new system: "The Community is now solely responsible for curating the token-proposed tokens" using clerical dispute resolution service.

Token quotes on major exchanges are sometimes controversial, with allegations of electoral fraud and other tactics by project teams and supporters eager to see Altcoin. Clerics and Ethfinex are optimistic that the solution they have developed will be more transparent and focused on the community. The announcement ended, "We are curious to see how that works, and hope that this is the first of many exchanges that make the leap into a true decentralization of token listing."
